APPLIANCE FOR TREATING HORSES LEGS'WITH WATER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 701,521, dated June 3,1902- Application tiled January 22,1901. Serial No. 44,272. (No model.)

Fluid, (for which I have obtained a patent in n Great Britain,No.12,997, bearingdate July 18, 1900,) of which the following is aspecification.

Myinvention has for its object an appliance for treating horses legswith water or other iuid ot' such character that it maybe employed insubstitution for the usual bandages, jets, and the like now employed forthe purpose. Such appliance consists of a distributing-nozzle connectedto the water or other liquid supply and to the desired number offlexible distributing-pipes. uting-pipes are connected in their turneach to the inlet of a nozzle having two outlets, which latter areconnected to the two ends of a short iiexible pipe perforated along oneside. Such short pipe, when the appliance is in use, is first placedaround the part to be treated and then secured to the nozzle, so thatwhen the water or other liquid-supply is turned on it will escapethrough the perforations and so reach the part to be treated. Thedistributing-nozzle is preferably provided with fouroutlets and theseoutlets provided with reducing linings to better insure evendistribution. It will thus be seen that when arranged in position `suchappliance needs little or no attention and the liquid-supply may beeasily and quickly changed or regulated. l

The accompanying drawings illustrate how my invention may be carriedinto practical effect.

These distrib` Of the drawings, Figure 1 is a section of thedistributing-nozzle, flexible connecting-pipe, three-way nozzle, andperforated pipe; and

Fig. 2, a sectional plan of the distributingnozzle.

The distributing-nozzle A has the inlet cl thereof connected to thewater or liquid supply pipe G, and its four outlets B, which areprovided with reducing-liners O to insure 5o and so allows the water orliquid escaping to f the part around which such short flexible tube issecured.

What I claim is- An apparatus for treating horses consisting of flexibleperforated tubes, one for each leg, each of said tubes being connectedwith a noz'- zle II having three branches, a distributingnozzle arrangedto be placed on the horses back and having four outlets, the reducingliners in the said outlets, a tube extending from each of the fouroutlets to the iilexible perforated tubes at the horses legs, and a tubeleading to the said distributing-nozzle whereby all the legs ofthehorses may be supplied at once.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twowitnesses.
